On Duality in Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss non-abelian SU (N c) gauge theory coupled to an adjoint chiral superfield X, and a number of fundamental chiral superfields Q i. Using duality, we show that turning on a superpotential W (X) = Tr k l=1 g l X l+1 leads to non-trivial long distance dynamics, a large number of multicritical IR fixed points and vacua, connected to each other by varying the coefficients g l .

Supersymmetric duality in superloop space
In this paper we constructed superloop space duality for a four dimensional supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory with N = 1 supersymmetry. This duality reduces to the ordinary loop space duality for the ordinary Yang–Mills theory. It also reduces to the Hodge duality for an abelian gauge theory. Furthermore, the electric charges, which are the sources in the original theory, appear as monopoles in ...
متن کاملIntroduction to Seiberg-Witten Theory and its Stringy Origin
We give an elementary introduction to the recent solution of N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In addition, we review how it can be re-derived from string duality.

متن کاملMillennial Messages for Qcd from the Superworld and from the String
Supersymmetric gauge theories have had a significant impact on our understanding of QCD and of field theory in general. The phases of N = 1 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) are discussed, and the possibility of similar phases in non-supersymmetric QCD is emphasized. It is described how duality in SQCD links many previously known duality transformations that were thought to be distinct, including Olive...
متن کاملN = 4 Supersymmetric Yang - Mills Theory on a Kähler Surface
We study N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a Kähler manifold with b2 ≥ 3. Adding suitable perturbations we show that the partition function of the N = 4 theory is the sum of contributions from two branches: (i) instantons, (ii) a special class of SeibergWitten monopoles. We determine the partition function for the theories with gauge group SU(2) and SO(3), using S-duality. This leads us...
متن کاملScaling Violations in Yang - Mills Theories and Strings in AdS 5
String solitons in AdS 5 contain information of N = 4 SUSY Yang-Mills theories on the boundary. Recent proposals for rotating string solitons reproduce the spectrum for anomalous dimensions of Wilson operators for the boundary theory. There are possible extensions of this duality for lower supersymmetric and even for non-supesymmetric Yang-Mills theories. We explicitly demonstrate that the supe...
متن کاملReducing S duality to T duality.
The infrared limit of D = 4, N = 4 Yang-Mills theory with compact gauge group G compactified on a two-torus is governed by an effective superconformal field theory. We conjecture that this is a certain orbifold involving the maximal torus of G. Yang-Mills S-duality makes predictions for all correlators of this effective conformal field theory. These predictions are shown to be implied by the st...
